Hi kvinneakt. Good to see you here! I agree with LMo. They can't manage your life. I wouldn't go to many if any of them if they are so upsetting to you. All of us aren't social butterflies.....and I think that's ok.

I try to avoid, but when it is at work on paid time, my boss says that attendance is my work for the duration.

Another thing they "do" to me is annually "surprise" me with a birthday cake after my annual request/demand to drop it. Don't think they are being "nice" and I am a sour puss. These are not nice people. They are a bunch of back stabbers who will do almost anything to get their way and kiss the boss's butt.

I have one true friend there, and for that I am ever grateful. Sometimes, though, like today, she does not get it and provokes me. I get mentally toxic, bordering on tearing my few hairs and crying, and she joins the others in watching me squirm. I know that tomorrow there will be an apology.

It really is a handicap, just as debilitating in its own way as is a physical disability. I can no more alter my personality to suit them than I could grow new legs if they were the problem.

Why do grown adults still act like school bullies and pick on the faults they find in others?
